Hello all, I need help. I've got an '11 Yukon 5.3 with AFM, 114,000 miles and it seems to be eating around 2-3 quarts every 3000 miles. Good or bad, I don't drive it much and never tow anything, so oil consumption is difficult to read. I do get the puff of smoke when I start it after driving it "hard" which really just means running it 75 mph or accelerating quickly.
What are my options? Should I just trade it in on a '14 or newer or what year doesn't have this issue?
I'm not a mechanic, but I take it to my small town mechanic where I live who I know and trust and they do good work. Should I have them do something to it to try to fix it?
I've only had it for about 8 months, man I wish I would've found this before I bought it.
